Bobby Jindal: Not done as long as there are folks who can't find work

Our unemployment rate is 6%, a full 1.6 percentage points below the national unemployment rate. In fact, our unemployment rate has remained well below the Southern and national averages every month since the beginning of the national recession.

As long as there are hardworking folks in Louisiana who can't find work--and there are.
As long as there are hardworking people in Louisiana who need better paying jobs--and there are.
As long as there are families in Louisiana who are struggling to get by--and there are.
As long as this is the case, we are not where we need to be, and our work is not complete.

One of the biggest obstacles we face in helping more Louisianians find work, bringing more people here, and growing our economy is Louisiana's tax code. We can be number one in job growth in the entire country. Source: 2013 State of the State speech to La. legislature Apr 8, 2013
